It reminds us how reliant we are on imports, and with the geopolitical climate and tropical storms, we could not afford to be down for any extended period of time to meet demand. |
It seems like every storm we get, the market gets more sensitive to it. |
It seems like the concern about the Iran showdown is trumping the fact that supplies are pretty good right now and that seems to driving the market. |
It still seems the threat of losing Iranian oil is a far out issue. Today it appears traders are preparing for what could be a bearish Department of Energy weekly supply report. |
It sure did a heck of a job working on oil traders' nerves as the market went ever higher. |
It was an explosive day. We had a little bit of everything. |
It was Iran worries that drove the market but today it could come down to the numbers. The Department of Energy report may actually be the deciding factor as to whether or not these price levels are justified at this time or whether or not the market has one less worry. |

It's a shame because all the pieces were in place for gas to come down even more, ... Now we have to worry about Rita blowing through an area that makes up close to 27 percent of our oil refining capacity. |
It's all weather-related. Unseasonably warm temperatures here in the Midwest and elsewhere have taken the fear out of this market, at least for the near term. |
It's been one thing after another. |
It's going to get pretty ugly. It's ugly already. We're going to hit $3 a gallon nationwide.... That's the number that I'm hoping that we're going to stop at. |
It's inevitable we would have a little bit of a pullback (in inventories) after last week's report. |
It's not necessarily a good thing to have a build in crude. It means refineries did not get up and running as quickly as hoped. It's a disturbing trend heading into winter. |
